There's no mistaking these brothers — they might not actually be related, but their special bond certainly brings them pretty close to being family.

Phi Delta Theta is not your ordinary fraternity. They have gone dry — nationally! University of Richmond Phi Delta Theta Chapter President, Brandon Boxler, says that going dry has brought the fraternity brothers closer together, but the trouble is that their dumpy lodge is driving them apart! Brandon wants to reward some of his hardworking fraternity brothers with a makeover of one of the lodge's underused rooms and has chosen brothers Clay, Ryan and Stanton to surprise — the first time that WYWO has hoodwinked a group of people.

It's back to college for Nadia Geller and the WYWO team, and a practical class on how to make a cold and empty room warm and inviting. Speaking of warmth, the team is working in 90 degree heat and 90 percent humidity with NO air conditioning. Nadia, Evan, Andrew and Ali sweat away, literally, to create a space where the brothers can study and hang out. Andrew is tasked with building some huge and elaborate bookcases — a fine and noble endeavor — but getting these heavy beasts up the hill to the frat house, and then in through a narrow window is a major headache, and the entire WYWO team ends up hot, bothered and utterly exhausted.

Clay, Ryan and Stanton are in Virginia Beach doing some 'brotherly bonding' for what they think is a documentary about their fraternity. Little do they know, the WYWO team and some close friends are sweating it out so they can have the most impressive Brother's Room on campus!
